According to a letter to Loyola University President Kevin Wildes from Jordan Kurland, associate general secretary of the AAUP dated Dec. 15, 2010, Loyola must meet three criteria before censure is lifted. The first requirement is that Loyola must provide "satisfactory redress in the cases that led to the censure and any subsequent major cases."
